SPD: Sorority burglar is right-handed, has one glove

Seattle police are hoping someone will recognize this guy. (No, we’re not kidding.)

According to police, the man pictured in the photos climbed through the second-floor window at a University of Washington sorority house in the 4500 block of 22nd Avenue Northeast early Friday morning.

He fled after he was discovered by residents of the house and before police arrived. Officers searched the surrounding area but didn’t find the burglar.

Police concede the surveillance photos are grainy and don’t show the man’s face. However, they say he wore a glove on his right hand during the break-in.

Police ask that you call detectives at 206-684-5735 “If you have any information about the case or know any right-handed burglars who only own a single glove.”
